Injustice (2011)
fantastic
I felt compelled to put pen to paper myself after watching this thoroughly enjoyable drama, I would say by far the best thing on ITV in 2011 Purefoy is at his best with a great support cast in Miles, Diveney, Parker and Dunning. Love to see more of this in the future, the writing is from Anthony Horowitz known for Foyles War, Murder in Mind, Midsommer Murders and The Gift. In the beginning you see only success from Travers lifestyle but it soon unravels into a web of intrigue, not everything is what it seems, flashbacks are used to build a powerful story of a man with a secret in his past, will it catch up with him?
The Phantom of the Opera (2004)
highly recommend,
The transition from stage to screen is quite honestly phenomenal, the sets, the costumes, the mood of the whole film is superb. Having seen the stage production with Dave Willets and John Owen Jones a total of five times I can honestly say I was very pleasantly surprised with Gerard Butler as the Phantom (would he make a good Bond?)he carries off the part excellently and Emmy(Christine) is a sensation from start to finish. All the supporting cast are great and Patrick Wilson as Raoul seems a good find (The Alamo). Mr Schumachers direction is very close to the stage production which I found appealing I was hoping they would keep as close to the original stage production as possible, the only problem I have now is do I go back to London or to my local theatre for a fantastic nights entertainment, highly recommend to people who haven't seen the stage prod. as well a very powerful film.
